Victim Of Circumstance

As soon you walked out of a building, you are caught in an expected heavy rain. Then you realized that you have all the umbrellas you need inside your car. ~ Stephen Hon

I’d say people are victims of circumstances and they’re limited to the opportunities that they see. Even though there might be more opportunities, you might not see them. You might just think, “I don’t have any options.” You usually go to the dark side, in that situation. ~ Ice T

So here’s the flash: Continuing to live life as a victim of circumstance, forever focusing on what’s wrong with everything and everybody, will never, ever, bring the life desired. It will only bring one thing: more of whatever it is we’re wanting so desperately to change. ~ Lynn Grabhorn

The conflict between what one is and who one is expected to be touches all of us. And sometimes, rather than reach for what one could be, we choose the comfort of the failed role, preferring to be the victim of circumstance, the person who didn’t have a chance. ~ Merle Shain

We can spend our days bemoaning our losses, or we can grow from them. Ultimately the choice is ours. We can be victims of circumstance or masters of our own fate, but make no mistake, we cannot be both. ~ Richard Paul Evans
